Hi Paul. Just a note to let you know I have group sheets for all the
family except my grandparents and will probably have to go to court
house and look for them in state records.
Since my father had one daughter and most of my brothers had
girls do you want me to sent you sheets from their families.
As a side note my Father always told us that Mary Surratt of
the Lincoln Assination Conspiracy was one of our kinfolks.
Well that's it for now and will start putting all this in the
computer when I find all I can on my grandparents.

I found obit clipped from paper, probably by my mom. Had a date of 17
Feb. 1932. It was about Mrs. Ora (Finley) Sarrett, died at age 41. Had
one daughter attended Mrs. Charles Walker (Ruth M. Sarrett) I went to
highschool with a "Jean Sarrett" she was a year behind me prob b. 1934.
All I know was her mother was "Estelle" Wm. H. Sarrett Jr., must have
remarried, after the death of his first wife and remarried to Estelle Unknown.
Harris Sarrett, harrisjr@misnet.comHarris,
Yes, Mrs. Ora (Finley) SARRETT, was the 1st wife of
Wm. Harper SARRETT, Jr.
Mrs. Estelle (Dudley) SARRETT, is his 2nd Wife.
Mary "Ruth" SARRETT, b. 1914, is the Daughter from 1st Wife.
Jean SARRETT, b. c1934, is the daughter of 2nd Wife (Half-Sisters)(This July 1996, E-Mail was the last we heard from Harris Sarrett..prs)

Harman Jackson Sarrett's daughter Susan Teresa who married Aaron Newman
Whitaker had another daughter we didn't know about. Her name is Carrie
and she was born 22 Feb. 1887 in Port Gibson, MS. The only record I can
find of a Carrie Whitaker in the 1900 census that might work shows
Carrie C. Whitaker born abt 1887 in MS is living as a boarder with
William W. Buetow in Police Jury Ward 4 East Baton Rouge, LA. I have
not checked for 1910 or 1920 yet. She was married to William Hill and I
did find her in the 1930 census for Mill Spring, Wayne, MO

I met with her daughter Katherine (who has never married) and she gave
me the information I have. She had a booklet printed called:
"THIS IS MY STORY AND I'M STICKIN' TO IT" published in 2002, and it tells mainly
memories but a little genealogy. She wrote this to mark her 91st
birthday. The genealogy states that Carrie was born in Port Gibson,
Mississippi, on February 22, 1887 to Susan Surrett Whitaker and Aaron
Newman Whitaker. She died on December 19, 1964. Katherine McKenzie
Hill was born in Augusta, Georgia, on October 5, 1911, to Carrie
Charlotte Whitaker Hill and William Hill. William was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, around 1872, to Katherine McKenzie Hill and David Hill, and
came to the United States as a young man. He worked for the railroad in
Augusta, Georgia, for a number of years before moving to Otter Creek.
He died in 1936. He mentions a older sister Susie also born in
Augusta. Younger brother David born in Turpin Hill, Georgia. She
states that she didn't know this until she read his obituary so I'm not
sure if this is correct. She also mentions an older brother Bill who
was her half-brother. She doesn't know where he was born and doesn't
mention which parent was his full parent. She also mention a boy named
Lamar. I haven't found my notes yet, so I can't tell you for sure, but
I believe she said this was her sister Susan's boy.
Have a nice day.

Paul,
I was just wanting to make some corrections on your website.
My mother is Janice Elizabeth (Sarrett) PITTS,
daughter of Jessie Harris Burt Sarret, Sr. and Viola Carilla Hand.
The parents of Jessie Harris Burt Sarrett are
James Edgar Sarrett and Johnny Falkner Howard.
The parents of James Edgar Sarrett are
Harmon Jackson Sarrett and Frances Brown.
I am just giving you this information to guide you to how I am related.
My mother and I were looking over the SFA website and noticed that there
were mistakes that she remembers as a child. We just wanted to make some
corrections.
These would be listed under the children of Jessie Harris Burt Sarrett.
Debra L. PITTS, E-Mail: dphonea@yahoo.comDebbie,
Your late Uncle J. "Harris" B., Jr. SARRETT, Jr. (1933-2007 a74yrs) (your Mothers Brother)
was one of our First Researcher/Submitter to the SFA Profile back in 1996.
I still have several of his E-Mail's in our Archives, and is the Major contrubutor on this Family.
Your Grandfather: Jessie Harris Burt Sarrett, Sr. can be seen at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~prsjr/families/ms/hinds/fg0464.htm#8.5
We still have a lot of "Unknown, Not traced!" items.
We would love any corrections/additions you may have on these families.
Please send any corrections by E-Mail and after our review we will up-load said corrections.
None of this is written in "Concrete", we will change things that
in the absence of absolute proof, circumstantial evidence,
both legally and genealogically, has been allowed and the
conclusion will be conceded when no other proof of the opposite is provided,
which is both logical and reasonable and not opposed by any other evidence.
Do you know where your Grandparents were living in the 1930 Census, we can NOT seem to find them?

LOL...I know. My Uncle Harris was extremely close to us. Harris was in a nursing home up until
the day of his death and my mother went every week, sometimes twice a week to make sure he had
everything he needed and to wash his clothes. Harris was a huge part of my life for as far back
as I can remember. I will share with you what I know.
Jessie Harris Burt Sarrett, Sr. was in Germany during the 1920 census and below is who I believe
is Jessie and Viola in the 1930 census. If you look at the census record itself, you will see that
Jena is actually Jessie. This was a mistake by the person who transcribed the record. Also,
my mother said that her mother Viola was called "Olla" by Jessie and other members of the family.
Andrey on this record is Audrey and James is also listed.
I believe that Uncle Johnny being born in December 1929 prevented him from being mentioned in
the census because he was not born at the actual time of the census taking. Let me know what
you think here.
1930 United States Federal Census
Home in 1930: Jackson, Madison, Tennessee
Jena Sarrett 26
Ola Sarrett 26
Andrey Sarrett 3 4/12
James Sarrett 1 4/12
Debra L. PITTS, E-Mail: dphonea@yahoo.comDebbie,
I agree, when you look ant the 1930 Census, pg3a, Family Visit: 61 it's clear that
Jena is actualy "Jesse" and Ola is actualy "Vola" I made the "correction" on Ancestrey.com
Census search engine.
The reason Johnny Monroe SARRETT is not listed, is because he was not born until Dec 29, 1930
the Enumberator took this info. on Apr 3rd, 1930. This also why Andrey Louise SARRETT, was still
listed in this census she died on her 4th Birthday May 1st 1930, 27 days after this Census.
Which brings up another correction, why isn't Audrey death location in Jackson City, Madison Co., TN.
NOT Jackson, Hinds Co., MS? and was her body taken back to Cedar Lawn Cemetery, Hinds Co., MS.?
What was the "Cause of Death" for this 4 year little Girl?
You mentioned that the reason your Grandfater Jesse, is NOT listed in the US 1920 Census,
was because he was in Germany, was he in the Army?, I can't find him in the First
World War I, Registration Cards of 1917 & 1918, he would have only been 15 & 16yrs old,
but would have been age 18yrs in the 1920 Census, what Branch, Unit was he in?
WWI War was declared on Apr 2, 1917 and the Peace Treaty of Versailles, Paris, concluded in Jun 1919
If you have photos of Gravesite Lakewood Cemetery, we work with FAGrace.com, and would like
to place Memorial & Headstone photos and this site.
If you have any Photos of these early SARRETT, we woud like to place on our Profile.

Hello Paul
Sorry it took me a while to get back to you .Here is some of the information I have
on the family. This can be found by going to mississippiscv.org ...
When you enter the site go to links then to research help...
go to the section under mississippi confederate graves registry.
My findings are that HJ Sarrett was a first sargent. company b., 1st batt.
Ms cavalry state troops .
This would be considered a state militia unit .
He enlisted Sept. 7 1864 and was discharged March 15 1865.
I didn't see this anywhere in your information and thought it would be of interest to you.
I am planning to go to Utica soon and try to find his grave marker.If I do find it I will take a
picture and send you a copy.
As for my great grandfather Fred Whitaker Lee ,
his actual parents were Aaron Newman Whitaker and Susan Theresa Sarrett .
She died within 2 weeks after his birth. The story we have always heard was his father
abandoned him shortly soon after that . At that point Susans sister
Francis Maria and her husband Daniel Thomas Lee adopted him and took in
2 sisters Lena (Linnie) Whitaker and Mary Whitaker.
He later married my great grandmother Gladys Sarrett.
She was the daughter of James Edgar Sarrett and Frances Johnson....
and yes they were first cousins. Not a lot of forks in the family tree there.
I do have some death dates and places of burial that would complete some of your empty spots.
Just let me know what info you want. I will send you some more info on that , as well as some
pictures of Fred and Gladys as soon as I get my scanner working
I have some old reciepts and checks from the hotel that Daniel Lee and his wife
Maria (Sarrett) Lee ran in Utica back in the early 1900's .
I have found a box of them at my mothers house and would love for you to have some of
the originals. All the records I have on her she goes by
M.E. Lee or Maria Lee. I will send the other info soon.
Thanks for getting back to me.

1st E-Mail: Dated: August 21, 2011 03:05 PM EDT
Hi Paul, I want to thank you for your work in your research of the "Sarrett" family.
I am the granddaughter of Fannie Lee Sarrett (Shannie)
who married Mr. Benson May Russell around 1926. He was 20 years older than she and
was at that time a Senator from the State of Mississippi,from the Eighth Senatorial District.
I have been looking for information on my Great Grandparents, which
Mr. James Edward Sarrett would be my Great Grandfather.
Until now, I never knew where he was born or buried. Now, I do.
Little did I know he had a second wife. A. Johnnie Faulkner Howard.
She is also buried in the same Cemetery as
James, Cedartown "Cedar Lawn" Cemetery!
I read where they had three children as a result of this marraige.
Now, I am curious. Who were these children and where is the first Mrs. Sarrett buried.
I would believe that the first wife would have been my Grandmothers mother.
Can you please help me?
My mother, Mary Belle Russell Sistrunk,
who passed away in March of this year and my father are fourth cousins.
Needless to say it is confusing especially now that I see
the second Mrs. Sarrett's mother was a Renfro-ha..my father and my mother are both
kin to Renfro's in and around Monticello Mississippi!
In fact, they are so double kinned that I can hardly keep up with who is who.
It gets so confusing! Thank you for your time. Any information is greatly appreciated.
I will leave with this bit of information,
Mr. Sarrett's first wife, I believe was a Johnson.
My grandmother was raised by her Aunt Belle Johnson Rogers because
Mrs.Sarrett passed away as a result of having Fannie Lee (Shannie).
Again Thank You...
